Who knows if we will make it to the next bump up but if we do instead of refunding me money maybe you can send me a random gmk key:) Like a spacebar or something haha

I will happily provide you a GMK spacebar for the cost of this set

I have already bought a keyboard for gaming Razer black widow X chroma 3 which unexpectedly superb. This keyboard was recommended from http://listsplash.com/best-gaming-keyboard-2017/ . But I will love to go with your keyboard soon. :-)

We will be getting some samples in 2 weeks.

Thank you for the update, looking forward to seeing the samples!

[zenless]

Order in, and now we wait hopefully this ends up being a Christmas present for myself!

[punksinatra]

The set looks really really nice too bad can't buy but bump

[ReverbSlush]

Just purchased in hopes that it matches this:

[codedisorg]

Any updates on MOQs or samples?

[chuckdee]

Any updates on MOQs or samples?

That's the question I was just about to ask.   I'll be placing mine at the end of the week, hopefully.

[sherryton]

Any updates on MOQs or samples?

We're officially at 100 sets sold and 33 spacebars. Both sets are in queue and most likely ready to ship by December. We just need to work on the samples. I'll be getting some samples and I'll send some to switchnollie to confirm.

The samples are still in the process. GMK had to update my information in their database which delayed things a bit.

Great news Sherry

You must be GMK's biggest customer

At least on these small buys I know i've bought three different sets in the last few months from originative. Have one on order from massdrop but odds are low i'll keep that one.

[switchnollie]

GB period is over, well has been for 3 days

Still waiting on GMK to finish up the samples

Here's hoping the samples arrive soon enough, exciting times!

[tinyprawn]

I know there are lots of ongoing shenanigans at the moment, but I'd like to know how this is progressing.  I assume it's just sitting a long queue, but I'd love to know how much of a delay to expect as early as possible

Samples should arrive this week! Exciting

[Vigrith]

Yeee, hope so, looking forward to seeing what the colours look like irl.

[nathanrosspowell]

Colors better match my clack or else :dolphin: 

[sherryton]

In my opinion, the grey color doesn't look very accurate. Switchnollie will have to decide.

I can't speak on the accuracy of the grey.  However that blue looks great.

Hey all, after discussing the gray with Sherry I've decided to request new samples.

This will delay the buy by about another month but I think it will be worth it to have the gray closer to the one that you're all used to seeing from the GB Pantone image.

[jjnist]

Always more important to get the color right! I think most people are willing to wait a little longer if the set comes out like the vision!

What's with the legends?  (note that I have no idea how the sample process works)

I was curious to see how the gray and greenish looked together since they're relatively low contrast.

I'll try to ask for those as the next samples. One of the funny thing is that the grey here is actually more White than Grey. It highly resembles the 2M color code from GMK, but it's not exactly the same. I think the contrast would look really good when the whole set is made. The Tiffany Blue isn't completely strong, but it's more than enough.

Agreed on both fronts, the grey looks pretty white from pictures.

[dead_pixel_design]

Wait when did we move away from the light grey legends on the Tiffany's Green caps?

[Dongulator]

I can't believe I flaked on this.

Want to add that I think the sample (with the black 'Q' on it) is the perfect color for Tiffany's Blue

There was an answer to this further up (that you quoted in one of your responses, actually)

Yeah I saw that, tried to modify my first post, not post a second, but I'm multitasking at work and wasn't paying enough attention to either my work or my posting. Clearly I need to get my priorities straightened out a little better (Obviously this is the priority)

[tinyprawn]

What is the ETA on the next update?  This is my first GMK set and I have been disappointed by the SP keycap quality. I want to know whether it's my expectations are unreasonable or if there is a quality difference between the two manufacturers.

I can personally assure you that gmk is way superior than SP

They had issues with QC before especially fot their double shooting results. But I think they have fixed it, my recent gmk does not have that issue anymore

With GMK Carbon shipping you should be able to base the quality off of those once the pics start flooding in.

I'd guess the new samples will be ready at the end of the month, the first samples were later than estimated though so I can't say for sure.

[Vigrith]

Birdie & Co needs a home. Hurry yo ass up with them samples GMK!

[switchnollie]

Goodies made by Navacaps to give away to GB participants in the future

Thanks man!

[Vigrith]

Awwwwwwcrud. Those are definitely a darker shade than the ones from the sale correct? Could be just lighting, either way they look fantastic, thanks Nocturnal!

They're different yeah

I have one of the sale caps like yours & it's noticeably different.
Darker beak & feathers.

Figured! They look great, hopefully both the sale version as well as the giveaway match the set.

Speaking of which, no further updates I suppose? As in the new colour samples are still scheduled to arrive some time toward the end of this month?

We might be using GTL like suggested in the original SA set.
Cool Gray 1 XGC was not the same as the Pantone image IRL.
Did not look as nice.

I've PM'd Sherry & am waiting for a reply on the situation.

[[Lewynlight]]
